What does pergi mean in this sentence?
Pergi generally means go. In this sentence, it can be interpreted as He/She goes or He/She went, depending on context. Malay doesn’t change the verb form to show tense the way English does, so time markers or context usually indicate when the action took place.

In Malay, ke means to or towards. It shows direction to a place—in this case, the market (pasar).
What does juga add to this sentence?
Juga means also, too, or as well. It indicates that the subject (dia) is performing the same action or is included in the same activity as someone else or as previously mentioned.
